ABOUT THE FIRM
Embedded Files
We know their playbook because we used to use it. Now, we use it against them.
Drake Adjustment Group is a boutique consultancy representing only the policyholder. We do not work for the insurance company.
However, our strategic advantage comes from the fact that we used to.
We are the firm that other professionals call when a file gets stuck. Whether retained by policyholders, attorneys, or fellow public adjusters, our role is to cut through the subjective noise and strictly enforce the policy language. We don't just negotiate; we audit.
Our Core Philosophy: "The Loss Is What The Loss Is." We do not believe in "puffing" a claim to see what sticks. That is an amateur strategy that invites scrutiny.
We believe in forensic substantiation. By utilizing industrial hygiene protocols, code compliance analysis, and 3D modeling, we build a claim file that is mathematically and contractually undeniable. We don't ask the carrier for favors; we present them with facts they cannot refute.
FIRM LEADERSHIP
Sean P. Drake | The Insider
Founder, President & Licensed Public Adjuster
Sean P. Drake brings more than a resume to the table; he brings the playbook. Before founding Drake Adjustment Group, Sean spent over three decades on the carrier side, holding high-level authority positions including Executive General Adjuster and Claims Manager for major insurance companies.
He wasn't just handling claims; he was managing the departments that approved or denied them. He knows the internal triggers that flag a file for audit, the specific language that justifies a denial, and the exact evidence required to overturn it. Today, he leverages that "insider" clearance exclusively for policyholders, applying the same rigorous standards he once enforced to ensure his clients receive every dollar they are owed.
Core Focus:
Large Loss Strategy
Policy Interpretation & Coverage Analysis
Dispute Resolution & Appraisal

Brian P. Drake, CPA
Partner, Forensic Accountant & Licensed Public Adjuster
Insurance claims are no longer just about damage; they are about data. As a dual-licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Public Adjuster, Brian P. Drake bridges the gap between financial forensics and modern claims technology. While the carrier may rely on subjective visual inspections, Brian leverages data-driven methodologies to lock in the truth.
He leads the firm’s technological initiatives, utilizing tools like iGuide 360-degree capture and digital twin modeling to create undeniable visual evidence of the loss. Combined with his accounting background, this allows him to construct a claim file where the physical scope and the financial loss are perfectly aligned. Brian represents the next generation of advocacy - where "innovative approaches" and hard data replace speculation.

THE SYNERGY
Most firms offer either the "Old School" wisdom of a veteran adjuster OR the "New School" tech of a modern firm. We deliver both.
By combining Sean’s mastery of physical loss and policy language with Brian’s financial forensic and technological capabilities, Drake Adjustment Group closes the loop on complex claims.
We ensure that neither the structural damage nor the financial impact is left open to interpretation. When you hire us, you are hiring a complete defense against the carrier’s attempts to minimize your recovery.
